Send2Press Newswire is a press release promotion service. They \nprovide RSS feeds of all their news, and currently there are about \n90 different feeds available. This plugin allows easy access\nto those feeds on your WordPress blog. Either as simple headline \nlinks or complete with a 5-10 line summary. CSS can\nbe used to tailor the look and feel.<\/p>\n\n
Please note that even though can do whatever you want with this\nplugin, including jumping up and down on it or feeding it to your\nhamster, there are restrictions on how you can use Send2Press \nNewswire content and trademarks. So please read the terms of service \ncarefully before using this plugin, either on the web at \nhttp:\/\/feeds.send2press.com\/terms.shtml or the included text \nfile termsofuse.txt.<\/p>\n\n
This plugin works both as a widget, as inline content\nreplacement and can be called from themes. Any number of \ninline replacements or theme calls allowed, but only one \nwidget instance is supported in this release.<\/p>\n\n
For widget use, simply use the widget as any other after\nselecting which feed it should display. For inline content\nreplacement, insert the one or more of the following strings in \nyour content and they will be replaced by the relevant news feed.\nFor theme use, add the do_action function call described below.<\/p>\n\n
<!--send2press--><\/code><\/strong> for the default feed<\/li>\n<!--send2press#feedname--><\/code><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nShortcodes can be used if you have WordPress 2.5 or above,\nin which case these replacement methods are also available.<\/p>\n\n
\n[send2press]<\/code><\/strong> for the default feed<\/li>\n[send2press name=\"feedname\"]<\/code><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nCalling the plugin from a theme is done with the WP do_action()\nsystem. This will degrade gracefully and not produce errors\nor output if plugin is disabled or removed.<\/p>\n\n
\n<?php do_action('google_news'); ?><\/code><\/strong> for the default feed<\/li>\n<?php do_action('google_news', 'feedname'); ?><\/code><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nEnable plugin, go to the Send2Press page under \nDashboard->Settings and read the initial information. Then \ngo to the Send2Press page under Dashboard->Manage and \nconfigure one or more feeds. Then use a widget or insert\nrelevant strings in your content or theme.<\/p>\n\n
Additional information:<\/p>\n\n
The available options are as follows.<\/p>\n\n
Name:<\/strong> Optional feed name, that can be used in the \nwidget or the inline replacement string to reference\na specific feed. Any feed without a name is considered\n\"default\" and will be used if the replacement strings do\nnot reference a specific feed. If there are more than\none feed with the same name, a random of these is picked\nevery time it is used. This also applies to the default\nfeed(s).<\/p>\n\nTitle:<\/strong> Optional, which when set will be used in the\nwidget title or as a header above the news items when \ninline. If the title is empty, then a default title\nof \"Send2Press : <feed type>\" is used.<\/p>\n\nNews type:<\/strong> The big dropdown list, with all available \nfeeds from Send2Press.<\/p>\n\nOutput Type:<\/strong> Links only, or complete with summary.<\/p>\n\nMax items to show:<\/strong> How many items from the feed to show, 0 for\nall. The default is 10 items.<\/p>\n\nCache time:<\/strong> The feeds are fetched using WordPress \nbuiltin MagpieRSS system, which allows for caching of feeds\na given amount of time. Cached feeds are stored in\nthe backend database. There is a lower limit of two hours \nimposed by Send2Press, but you can set it to something higher.\nCache time is in minutes.<\/p>\n\nIf you want to change the look&feel, the inline table is \nwrapped in a div with the id \"send2press-inline\" and the\nwidget is wrapped in an li with id \"send2press\". Let me \nknow if you need more to properly skin it.<\/p>\n\n
